As a local TV commentator pointed out, The issue is so emotionally loaded for both sides, one should not expect too much movement either way.

Hey Edgar, a bunch of us are heading down to Houston over the next few weeks. Where can we get good barbecue? We tried a couple places and were disappointed in the thin, chile based "sauce" served up with no alternative. We went to Pappas and Hickory Barn. Nobody liked either of them.

(some posts disappeared)

I guess Edgar has resigned himself to the fact there is no good barbecue in Houston.

Bush wooed Hispanics and christians since he was governor in Texas. I wonder if they still listen to Bush?

CI, You crack me up.

California was the Spanish name given to the region when the area was part of Mexico. Why would Mexicans want to change the name they gave it?

If there will be a name change for the state I would suggest "Usafornia" would more appropriate.

Quote:
Etymology: from California, state in the western U.S., from Spanish, probably from the name of an island in the romance Las Sergas de Esplandian (1510), by García Ordóñez de Montalvo, 15th century Spanish writer
source: Merriam-Webster

Quote:
The area was inhabited by Native Americans before European explorers started to make sporadic visits during the 16th Century. Spain colonized the territory during the late 1700s before it became part of Mexico after the Mexican War of Independence (1810-21). During the outset of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), American settlers revolted and established the California Republic. Following the war, the area was given to the United States.

I stand corrected.

I still think Usafornia has a nice ring to it.

I didn't want to correct anybody, ebrown.

Califa, btw, was a queen, ruling that mystic Spanish island.

So, from a republican point of view your name would be appropriate. :wink:

If what CJ alleges about the non-Spanish-speaking element of the population is true, how about Bigototopia?
